Tights

Women’s tights - an essential part of your style

Women wear tights from a very young age. As soon as the weather turns slightly cooler, almost every woman begins looking for the right pair. Most often, tights need to be bought several times a year:

- in summer, they are needed to comply with a strict office dress code. For this reason, women usually try to choose the finest possible styles in order to feel more comfortable in warm weather;
- in winter, women tend to look for the thickest tights, which will reliably protect the legs from the cold;
- during the in-between seasons, completely different styles are required - medium-density tights. They may not keep you warm in severe frost, but they help retain heat and add elegance to the overall look.

Tired of struggling with seasonal shortages of the right tights size in shops? There is no longer any need to make regular trips to the shopping centre just to buy the essentials. You can purchase tights in the right style and size from the Anabel Arto online shop in just a few minutes. And we will show you how to choose the right pair while taking every detail into account.

How to choose the right tights

The most popular styles among women are elastic tights made mainly from synthetic fibres such as polyamide and elastane. This composition is not only pleasant to the touch, but also allows the tights to stretch well and fit the legs closely, whatever your shape. If you look carefully at the descriptions of some models in our online shop, you will notice that a small percentage of cotton is also used. This natural material is applied in the gusset, where the two parts of the garment are joined. A cotton insert helps prevent rubbing.

At first glance, the large assortment of such similar-looking styles can feel overwhelming. However, the choice becomes much easier once you decide on the most important criteria and your personal requirements:

- denier. Ultra-sheer women’s tights up to 10 DEN are not especially practical, but they are indispensable where a dress code or rules of etiquette must be observed. Styles with a density of 10–15 DEN are considered sheer. When chosen correctly, they blend almost invisibly with the skin. Medium-density tights are marked 20–40 DEN and are the most in demand during the in-between seasons. Compared with sheer and ultra-sheer styles, they are more durable and therefore tend to last longer. The warmest and most hard-wearing options are opaque tights, from 50 to 200 DEN. These are usually worn in winter;
- size. This parameter should never be ignored in the hope that tights will simply stretch. It is true that they do stretch. However, if you choose too small a size, be prepared for constant discomfort and it is wise to have a spare pair on hand - the tights may tear as early as the moment you put them on. Finding your size is very simple: measure your height and hip circumference, then locate the corresponding values in the size chart published on the website;
- colour. In the wardrobes of office workers, black shades and nude-coloured tights usually dominate. Beige is considered the most versatile option. Modern stylists recommend choosing a shade that is a few tones lighter than the skin. This colour can be paired with shoes and clothing in almost any colour. Black tights visually slim the legs and always look elegant. Choosing this option usually works best within a more restrained dress code in darker tones. Those who enjoy more creative styling may opt for white, blue or violet shades. In such cases, the right colour should be chosen with the overall style of the outfit in mind.

Women’s tights can do more than just keep you warm or complete a look. There are also styles with a shaping effect. These usually feature a wide waistband and inserts of denser fabric in problem areas. Such models can visually reduce the waist and hips while also helping to shape the bottom.

The finishing touch to your outfit

Comfort is not the only criterion when choosing tights. The right pair should also be selected with the future outfit in mind. You can order tights with specific features such as:

- rise height. Those who prefer low-rise silhouettes should choose matching tights accordingly. A mid-rise is considered universal, while a high rise helps smooth and conceal extra centimetres without creating folds around the stomach area;
- the design of the brief section. This area is usually made with a denser knit, which increases durability and creates a shaping effect. Decorative lace detailing adds femininity and makes the transition softer and less noticeable;
- patterns. These help emphasise personal style. Vertical lines visually lengthen the legs, while decorative details draw attention to you.
